True 3D CT dataset for treatment planning of an oversized patient is difficult to acquire due to the bore size and field of view (FOV) reconstruction. This project aims to provide a simple approach to reconstruct true CT ...

As virtual learning has become increasingly more popular and even more common within both two and four-year institutions, the question of student engagement within these courses remains a critical factor for both administrators ...

This paper introduces a standalone hybrid power generation system consisting of solar and wind power sources and a DC load. A supervisory control unit, designed to execute maximum power point tracking (MPPT), is introduced ...

Smart lining System was developed to restore and improve water quality, hydraulic, and structural function of water large transmission pipes through the construction of the high quality lining in the study. Smart lining ...

Graphics processing units are increasingly being used for scientific computing for their powerful parallel processing abilities, and moderate price compared to super computers and computing grids. In this paper we have ...

Mathematics and physics courses are recognized as a crucial foundation for the study of engineering, and often are prerequisite courses for the basic engineering curriculum. But how does performance in these prerequisite ...

We report the development of a microfluidic gas generator using polymer film-based microfabrication method. The method is time and cost efficient and capable of fabricating microfluidic devices with feature resolution lower ...

The development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is heavily influenced by local stromal tissues, or desmoplasia. Biomimetic hydrogels capable of mimicking tumor niches are particularly useful for discovering the ...

Architectures for space-based solar power using in situ resource utilization (ISRU) of space materials can greatly reduce earth launch mass and can enable geometric capacity growth. These two factors allow the potential ...

Modern urban societies depend greatly on critical lifeline systems such as drinking water supply. Water supply systems in the United States comprise about one million mile length of interconnected pipelines that transport ...

Water supply systems in the United States connect raw water sources to hundreds of millions of water consumers through humongous infrastructure that include approximately one million miles of buried water mains and service ...

In teaching online technical communication courses, shaping an electronic interface requires extensive consideration of the user experience, both for students and for faculty members who design and teach the courses. ...

This paper proposes a standalone distributed photovoltaic system which includes two independently controlled solar power sources, a battery storage and a resistive load. Each of the PV panels consist of cascaded DC-DC boost ...

OBJECTIVES:
Salubrinal is a synthetic agent that elevates phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α) and alleviates stress to the endoplasmic reticulum. Previously, we reported that in ...

Employers in the Information Technology field place significant value on the amount of real-­world experience prospective employees possess. Recent IT graduates face a competitive job market against ...

The retention of students is a goal that all universities strive to achieve. With more and more emphasis placed on degree completion, retaining students becomes even more important. University faculty and staff continually ...

Few events within a successful academic program are as administratively demanding as an onsite accreditation assessment visit. It is a particularly stressful period where a program must fully account for itself by presenting ...

In light of current issues of global warming, pollution, and fossil fuel depletion,
alternative and renewable energy sources are increasing in desirability. Among these, solar energy is a popular option. However, it is ...
